In this episode, Jacqui Burge joins me (Hotflash inc founder Ann Marie McQueen) for a magical conversation that ranges from why perimenopause needed an easy-to-digest, simple and clean protein powder to how much better life can be without sugar.
Jacqui is a thoughtful, post-menopausal American health and wellness entrepreneur. A workplace wellness pioneer, she has more than three million views on LinkedIn for sessions offered by her company Desk Yogi. She’s been a figure skater, a rock star, a mom and a drug addict.
She’s also a woman who found herself a bit lost when menopause hit, and it was unexplained weight gain that led her to launch XO Jacqui. And this is where I found her, because Jacquie’s clean, vegan, organic and gluten-free protein powder is literally the only one in the world my tummy can tolerate. You can literally count the ingredients on your hand. It’s delicious and I actually import it from the US to the UAE. (If you want some of your own, use code HOTFLASHINC15 at checkout)
Jacqui’s mantra aligns with mine here at Hotflash inc: be your own advocate, stay curious and a step outside of your comfort zone.
The episode emphasizes embracing change, the non-linear nature of healing, and promoting self-acceptance and mental well-being.
Highlights:
The power of nudgesWhy she works on Sundays How to edit your to-do list to cut overwhelm How to make the first person you take care of youHow not to turn yourself into a mashed potato What drove her to start making her own protein powder (and what’s going on with a lot of varieties that seem healthy) The one thing about the obsession with protein you need to knowPerimenopause is asking about ‘what can you simplify’Why perimenopause should be a recognized rite of passageThe stability, knowingness and awareness that gets solidified in menopauseWhat is “pretend connection” and why does it hurt us? Re-examining alcohol in perimenopause What happens after you kick sugar for 10 daysHow neurofeedback cut through the trauma and finally helped her feel safeWhy she wants you to get support in tackling your traumaThe two sides of asking for helpWhat radical acceptance really meansHer best advice for going through perimenopause Menopausal creativity burstsWhy “post-menopause” needs more love

In this episode of the Hotflash inc podcast, Ann Marie McQueen interviews Dianne Wist, CEO of Violet Daily, about the importance of breast health and the benefits of molecular iodine.
In the new intro, Ann Marie relays a conversation she had with women's hormone expert Lara Briden about why it works and why it's better than potassium iodide (because it shelters the breast from estrogen and is preferentially taken up by more estrogen-sensitive tissues like the breast rather than the thyroid gland.
Disclaimer: Anyone with a thyroid problem who is considering taking iodine should check with their doctor first.Diane shares insights on why women often overlook breast pain, how hormone therapy can trigger it, and the need to be proactive about breast care. They discuss the clinical research behind Violet Daily's molecular iodine supplement, its impact on both women and men, and its role in alleviating breast pain and supporting overall breast health. Diane also offers advice on advocating for yourself at the doctor’s office and shares her personal menopause journey.
Why we ignore our breast painWhat can trigger breast pain (including hormone therapy)Why you need to have a relationship with your breasts (and be your own expert)Dianne’s advice for holding your own at the doctor’s officeWhat is molecular iodine and why might you want to take it?

Maryann Jacobsen is a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in nutrition. She has extensive experience with developmental stages, researching health topics, and writing. She’s also a forward-thinker who realizes that when it comes to aging, midlife doesn’t get nearly the attention it needs – and for the past five years, she’s been working to change that.
Maryann has a common-sense, independent thinking approach; she dives deep into research to uncover innovative and original insights. I feel like she’s my soul sister when it comes to these things, and the way the narrative is being crafted around perimenopause and menopause, in particular.
Her goal is for every woman to have the basic knowledge she needs to make informed health decisions. We cover a lot of ground here: including the role of hormones, the significance of micronutrients like iron and choline, nitric oxide's impact on health, and the necessity of a holistic approach to manage symptoms. The episode also sheds light on how lifestyle changes can enhance the effectiveness of hormone therapy and addresses commonly overlooked issues such as sleep-disordered breathing and its impact on health during midlife.
Topics covered:
Why it’s not as simple as “eat right and exercise” in midlife The risks of drinking while taking hormone therapy (that no one is talking about) All the things that are more interesting than hormone therapy Resistance breathing for reducing inflammation and other benefits The overlooked (and vital role) of nitric oxide All the ways to increase your nitric oxideHormone therapy, sure, but have you heard about beets? Pycnogenol Nasal breathing, headaches and sleep apnea The mixed results of hormone therapy Sunlight The nuances of post-menopause estrogen productionWhy we both are reticent about going estrogen Why beets aren’t much help for vaginasWhere to find Maryann and Midlife Strong:

If there is anything I like people going through peri menopause to know, if there's anything I'd like you to know, it's that no matter what route you take, no matter how you feel physically, the very best thing you can do emotionally and spiritually is to begin the painful, healing, scary, but fruitful reckoning with your past so you can properly face your future.
The transformative minefield for that, for me. And I want you to be able to experience this too. Let me get you started with my I forgive you letter to myself.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Jen and I recorded this interview last year. Almost a year ago. It was and is so important to me that I am sharing it with you now, with Jen’s blessing. (It fell into the “I took a short break to build my business and then my dad died suddenly” gap. You know the one ;)
Anyway, Jen is a very hardworking, accomplished entrepreneur and champion of midlife women. She runs the Jen Marples Agency and her goal is to help women over 40 get seen, heard, paid and to make an impact. She’s also the host of The Jen Marples Show: You’re Not too F***ing Old (soon to be called just You’re Not Too F***ing Old). We talk about it all: why you need to find supportive groups and new tribes (and what to do when yours isn’t working), ending friendships, dealing with ageism and the profound beauty and peace that comes with middle age and menopause. Jen believes you have to be a strong advocate for your own health. And she shares her own challenging journey, with endometriosis, IVF, perimenopause/massive burnout and ultimately reclaiming her vitality through rest, reinvention and getting her sleep back through the power of hormone therapy (thanks for delaying your nightly progesterone wind-down for us, Jen! The episode also touches on the essential book The Upgrade by neuroscientist Dr Louann Brizendine and offers advice on how and why you need to prioritize health care, making investments even when it’s not covered by insurance.

Hotflash inc founder and host Ann Marie McQueen talks about the first-ever perimenopause month, Hot Flash Day (courtesy of Stripes) and the annual meeting of The Menopause Society of North America.
She talks about sleep, hot flashes, weird quirks of research; hypnosis and cognitive behavioral therapy. Some new numbers on how many women in the US are taking hormone therapy (it’s way less than you think) and asks why only estrogen is considered hormone therapy. She talks about three of her best friends, who were transformed by exogenous hormones. And she talks about her own spiritual awakening through menopause, which sounds annoying but hopefully is not.

In this episode, host Ann Marie McQueen tries to explain her long and convoluted relationship to and quest for hormone therapy.

Hotflash inc founder and host Ann Marie McQueen sits down with Dr Leigh Erin Connealy, a leading figure in integrative medicine, known for her unique approach in combining conventional and alternative treatments in addressing chronic illnesses and cancer. Dr Connealy is the founder of the Center for New Medicine and the Cancer Center for Healing in Irvine, California and author of two books: The Cancer Revolution and the Be Perfectly Healthy. She is also co-founder of leading hormone brand, Raena Health.
She talks about why so many people are getting cancer, how to make chemotherapy more effective and less lethal, why prevention needs to be the focus. For Dr Connealy, the question we need to be asking: what is going on with your terrain, and why is it making cancer? Everything from the food we eat to the chemicals we surround ourselves with to the emotional work we aren’t doing is causing this. And find out what she thinks our number one risk is – why and what we can do about it. (It’s probably not what you are thinking)
Dr Connealy wants us all to know that in most cases, cancer is 10 years in the making. She has really good guidance for women considering hormone therapy, explaining the differences in synthetic hormones and the importance of the “orchestra”, including progesterone and pregnanalone, and more than one kind of estrogen. She explains why there is no one solution that fits all women – even though that’s what mainstream medicine wants us to believe – and gives guidance on the particular cocktail, with tweaks, that she likes to prescribe. She also gives her take on whether hormone therapy prevents cancer – its worth listening to the end just to hear what she has to say about that – and addresses that ongoing fear women have, which is weighing our fear of breast cancer risk when considering hormone therapy.
Dr Connealy is recognized for her personalized, holistic approach. This episode is nothing short of a masterclass on how to get our inner house in order.
Highlights:
01:56 The importance of personalized medicine
02:07 The rise of chronic diseases
03:09 The need for preventive healthcare
04:44 Challenges in cancer treatment
13:08 The importance of self-care

This week Florida orthopedic sports medicine surgeon Dr Vonda Wright published a review paper Climacteric, the journal of the International Menopause Society, introducing Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause. The paper has been shared widely across social media, and this interview with Dr Wright is an edited version from last year diving into Dr Wright’s efforts to create awareness of this constellation of muscle and joint problems experienced during perimenopause.
This is an issue close to Dr Wright’s heart: it was the first thing she went though in perimenopause.
Listen in as she explains why MSM is her mission, just what happens to our bones and muscles as we get older, and delves into the need for proper diagnosis and preventive measures such as exercise and diet, and the importance of estrogen in maintaining bone health.
